THUMBNAIL RETRIEVE is slow with latest media-scanner about server HOT 6 CLOSED

This should be fixed with https://github.com/CasparCG/media-scanner/releases/tag/v1.2.0

I've given this a quick try on linux, in the console window, and it doesn't look to be in the scale of seconds (testing with AMB). Some testing on windows should be done too

I can confirm this is also slow for me on Windows. Don't really have much time to dig into it right now. Note though I am also running Windows 11 which may be causing the issue since I get the same slow speed with the current casparcg stable and the latest media scanner. May also be a media-scanner bug and not a casparcg server bug.

I can add that at TV2 we use Windows 10, and i were the one to first notice this and message Krzysztof about it.
All my other settings appear to be just as mentioned by OP.

This appears to have been caused by CasparCG/media-scanner#48

Looking at wireshark, it is first attempting to connect to ::1, then after 2s it retries on 127.0.0.1. This will be because by default caspar is configured to connect to localhost. Changing that out in the caspar.config to 127.0.0.1 avoids this.

I am unable to reproduce the issue that spawned that original PR, so I think the best solution would be to revert that change, and expose a config field to change the bind address. That should make it work by default for almost everyone, and when it doesnt work it can be fixed in configuration.

The other option I can see would be to change the config file in caspar to use 127.0.0.1 explicitly, but that will require all users to update that manually in their config file when updating caspar, meaning this will be discovered again and again.

Can confirm that with version 1.2.0 of Media Scanner the issue is solved. Thanks alot :)
